"Then tell me about it" "I didn't have a pleasant childhood. You can tell" he spoke and she nodded, not saying a word. "My father was the cause. He wanted to shape me into this perfect, fearless son. I wasn't, but he forced me. Each time I messed up, he did cruel things to me. When I became a teen, my father and my mother divorced and I was forced to stay with my father. I wanted to stay with my mum, but he was too powerful. He won the court case and took me. My mum only visited once" he paused, looking at Rachael to make sure she was listening."Go on" "The whole trauma made me a sociopath. At least that's what the therapist said. I didn't let him break me, I got stronger and wiser. I ran away from home to fend for myself and when I turned 25, I went back home and killed that bastard""You killed your father?" Racheal was taken aback."Yes, he deserved to die," he frowned. "Now isn't this such a wonderful story," he said in sarcasm and all Rachael could do was nod."Now tell me abo

The car stopped in a big field. Rachael looked out from the car window, trying to discern where they were. It was just an open field with not a single soul."Richard, what are we doing here?" she asked as he grabbed her hand roughly."Let's go bitch" he ordered, holding her hand and dragging her out.The strong wind hit her skin as soon as she stepped out of the car. His men were all arranged behind them with guns in their hands. Her hands shook by her side at the thought of getting killed."Are you going to kill me?" she asked in fear, but he only scowled at her."Can't you keep your mouth shut for once?" he asked as he dialed a number on his phone."I got your girl," he said gruffly. "I can't tell you our location, why don't you track us like an expert?" he cut the call"Relax, your look tense" Rachael heard him, but that didn't do anything, rather it made her more apprehensive."Blindfold her," he ordered one of his men."What are you going to do with me, Richard? If you kill me,

"Have a look at this" Silvia placed her laptop in front of Gary. "What do you see?"It was the CCTV footage of the night Hardy was killed. It had been kept safely in the evidence roomGary sighed. Silvia was on the case he didn't want to have anything to do with and she always had a way of dragging him along. He knew Xavier, he knew the Collin family and they weren't friendly. Even though Xavier had been the most active one, he was even more dangerous than all of combined. "Nothing" "Exactly nothing. The girl isn't there anymore""How is that possible?""I think the CCTV footage got swapped""But it was kept safely in the evidence room. No one can tamper with evidence" "No one, but the DCI" "Mark?" "Who else will have access to that room?""Silvia I don't know, but you are making big allegations. He is our DCI""I fucking know and I think I know why he did this" she leaned closer to Gary."You do?""Remember when I told you I went to have a word with Xavier?" She asked and he nod

Her eyes widened in shock. Her lips parted to scream, but only a whisper was heard. This wasn't happening. She stared at the blood in revulsion. It trickled like water from his head. He had shot himself under the jaw. But why did he do it and why in her house?She looked upstairs. Gladly, her mother hadn't come out of her room. She was still asleep. The sight wasn't something too pleasant for her mother to watch.Her cell phone was smashed by him so she had to go to the telephone by the door to call 911."Hello," Her voice came out differently. It was due to the strong fear she felt. Her mouth felt patched, her throat hurt, and her body trembled."Yes, who is this and where are you calling from?""Rachael Davies. Heddie's street. 104 apartment" she made sure she said the name of her apartment before anything else. In case another freak barged in and did something even crazier. "Why did you call Miss Rachael?""A freak broke into my house." She whimpered. She hadn't even realized she h

Rachael cried her eyes out when her mother was confirmed dead. She saw her whole world shatter before her eyes. She didn't want to believe it, but it was the heartbreaking reality that she had to accept sooner or later.Andrew didn't try to console her. He let her cry her eyes out while they waited for the doctor to get back with the cause of her death. He felt It would be better if he let her cry her pain away. But there was something he didn't know and that was the fact that the pain couldn't just go away. It was a pain that could most likely linger for the rest of her life.The doctor came out shortly and Andrew was the first to get up in anticipation. Rachael on the other hand was too broken to pay attention to anything."Miss Davies" he called out to Rachael who finally looked at the doctor. Then she stood up."How did she die doctor?" Her voice was hoarse from too much cryingThe doctor let out a sharp exhale. "It was kind of strange, but I found red markings around her neck whi
